In a few weeks, the local train timetables will change, with later services from Coventry to Birmingham just one of the changes.

But while times can change, and extra carriages will be added, one thing is very unlikely to happen again - old stations reopening.

They might have been forgotten in time to many, but while stations like Canley and Tile Hill continue to thrive, many more were shut down for good and forgotten about.

In theory, it isn't the end of the line for some stations when they close down - just look at Kenilworth, but for others, time has passed them by.

All evidence of their existence might have gone or a lone stationmaster's house might now remain - beside a modern day level crossing.

So we've decided to take a trip down memory lane and look at the lost railway stations on the Coventry to Nuneaton line, finding out if any little remnants of any of these remain.

Coundon Road Railway Station

We start off with the first station north of Coventry towards Nuneaton, Coundon Road.

It was built by the London and North Western Railway and opened in 1850.

For a short while, it was the main terminus on the route - on a temporary basis.

The original station buildings were unfortunately destroyed by fire, but rebuilt once more in 1896.

It finally closed in January 1965, and unlike most stations on the list, there is some evidence that it ever existed.

At the current Coundon crossing is the old station master's house, which still stands.

And further up the track, up until 2014, stood an old signalling box, which was actually used to control the signals and level crossing until 2009 - until that function was passed to the West Midlands Signalling Centre in Birmingham.

Daimler Halt

Next up the line is Daimler Halt, which wasn't actually open for a lengthy amount of time.

Records show that it opened in 1917, and closed in 1965.

Interestingly, it spent most of its life as a private station, existing solely for employees of the Daimler Motor Company.

In 1956 it became a public station, though there were no station buildings or facilities other than rain shelters.

Foleshill Railway Station

Following along from Daimler Halt was Foleshill, which was located near to Lockhurst Lane.

It opened in September 1850, and along with Coventry Road, closed in January 1965.

The railways are still used today, but otherwise, remnants of the station are difficult to find.

Longford and Exhall Railway Station

On the outskirts of the city lay Longford and Exhall, which, as the name suggests, served the Longford and Exhall areas.

It opened with the line in 1850, and served passenger traffic, rather than commercial goods.

Unfortunately, this was the first station on the line to close, ceasing operations in May 1949.

No evidence of this station exists today, but was located at the railway line bridge over Woodshires Road.

It is worth noting that between Foleshill, and Longford and Exhall now lies Coventry Arena station, though that did not open until 2016.

Hawkesbury Lane Railway Station

Next up is Hawkesbury Lane, which like many before it, opened in 1850, and closed in 1965.

It served the village of Hawkesbury, and is believed to have had unusually low platforms.

Unlike some of the others mentioned on the line, we could potentially see a Hawkesbury station once more.

In the "New Era for West Midlands Rail Travel" document published by the West Midlands Rail Executive, it is proposed that Hawkesbury could actually reopen between 2034 and 2047.

The next station along the line is Bedworth, which closed like the others in 1965 - but reopened in 1988.

As part of a later upgrade, Bermuda Park was opened on this line too - on the same day as Coventry Arena.

Chilvers Coton Station

The final calling point before Nuneaton was Chilvers Coton, which followed the same trend of opening in 1850 and closed in 1965.

There isn't really a great deal to be said - it wasn't a major transport hub, as Nuneaton was just down the road.

Though it hasn't been reopened, the new Bermuda Park station is only actually around 800 metres away from the site of Chilvers Coton.
